Chinese Calligraphy
Description
Chinese calligraphy is both a means of communication and an expression of a person’s artistic identity. Students learn the meanings of and ways to write words in Chinese ideographs while using traditional brushes and paper. They also discover the cultural and historical context of Chinese calligraphy, which occupies a distinguished position in the field of traditional Chinese arts. In extended workshops, students learn to make a Chinese scroll or draw a Chinese fan to mount their artwork.

Testimonials
One of the special education students commented "Wow! I'm doing it, I'm writing in Chinese". The students enjoyed guessing the animals painted in calligraphy. Another teacher commented that Hua Hua "was a delight and her workshop was so enjoyable". Hua Hua was an absolute delight. She was funny, engaging, and joyful. All of the students were able to participate and ask questions. All of the students created beautiful work and were successful in writing words in Chinese calligraphy.
Art Teacher, Collingswood Middle School
This program was not only well done from an artistic perspective but the artist shared so much of the Chinese culture with the students. More than a few students came to a faculty member to say how much he/she enjoyed the program. It was wonderful.
Principal, Cardinal John Foley Regional Catholic School
I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing Hua Hua Zhang to teach at Port Norris School. To put it simply, she was fantastic. The students quickly made a connection with her. She did an amazing job working with the students. I was in awe while watching her teach. The students were caring and respectful. I really wish we had more days with her. The students' art work is hanging in different locations in the building!!
